R.I.P. Cliff Burton

I'm a metal fan and a guy with a blog about playing bass. Cliff Burton is one of the reasons I picked up the instrument to begin with, and I can't help but wonder what musical trajectory Metallica might have taken if not for his untimely passing. It is really touching to see Cliff's dad remember him and appreciate the very real impact he and his music had on so many people. Rest in peace, Cliff Burton, rest in peace.
